Abstract
Lemon yellow (LY) is an azo dye which is widely used as food colorant. The continuous consumption can result in the safety concerns for both human and environmental health. This study describes a new sulphur quantum dot (SQD) based fluorescent sensor, which was facilely prepared with oxidized-glutathione (GSSG) as passivator at mild condition of 75 °C. The obtained sulphur quantum dots (GSSG-SQDs) have a relative quantum yield of 0.25, which is 2–5 times that of most SQDs. GSSG-SQDs were used as a sensor for lemon yellow in the concentration range of 0.10–70 μM and the limit of detection of 60 nM. The application was verified with the real sensing of lemon yellow in the soft drinking and tap water, having the standard recovery from 92.5 % to 105 %. Given the great luminescence and photostability, GSSG-SQDs were used as a filler for the preparation of luminescent films and hydrogels as a promising material for a wide range of applications such as information encryption and bioengineering.
期刊介绍:
Spectrochimica Acta, Part A: Molecular and Biomolecular Spectroscopy (SAA) is an interdisciplinary journal which spans from basic to applied aspects of optical spectroscopy in chemistry, medicine, biology, and materials science.
The journal publishes original scientific papers that feature high-quality spectroscopic data and analysis. From the broad range of optical spectroscopies, the emphasis is on electronic, vibrational or rotational spectra of molecules, rather than on spectroscopy based on magnetic moments.
Criteria for publication in SAA are novelty, uniqueness, and outstanding quality. Routine applications of spectroscopic techniques and computational methods are not appropriate.
Topics of particular interest of Spectrochimica Acta Part A include, but are not limited to:
Spectroscopy and dynamics of bioanalytical, biomedical, environmental, and atmospheric sciences,
Novel experimental techniques or instrumentation for molecular spectroscopy,
Novel theoretical and computational methods,
Novel applications in photochemistry and photobiology,
Novel interpretational approaches as well as advances in data analysis based on electronic or vibrational spectroscopy.
